MAGPUPUNGKO ROCK POOL

Aside from the island’s great waves, Siargao also boasts of other equally interesting attractions that are worth visiting and these include Magpupungko Beach and Tidal Pools in the town of Pilar.

Only an hour and a half from General Luna, Magpupungko Beach is a small stretch of cream colored sand beach with a great view of sunrise. But it is no usual beach because on its northern end are amazing rock formations and tidal pools that are created by nature itself.

During low tide, the enclosed underwater crevices on the shore create natural sea water pools that seem like infinity pools. The wide underwater boulder serves as wall that separates the placid green pools to the crashing waves of the Pacific. The spot is decorated by rock formations, the largest is the iconic Magpupungko Rock that is sitting on top a flat rock! Everything on that place is simply extraordinary!

The Magpupungko Pools near the town of Pilar are natural pools between the rocks and reefs right at the beach, which are only completely visible in low tide, when the water level is low enough to expose the surrounding rock, so make sure you plan your trip and check for low tides before. Make sure to bring snorkel gear, as there are beautiful fish and corals living inside the pools and it is a safe place to snorkel at low tide.

The beach itself is almost white sand and very relaxing to be around for the day with your family or friends. There is a small store that offers lunch and a few small places to eat on the way. If you pay attention, you might fine one or two signs at the side of the road with trails to other unique locations.   Read More: http://siargao.surf/magpupungko/

The crystal clear blue water of Magpupungko Rock Pool had me speechless. This is an epic little area, with coves, caves, and cliff jumping spots aplenty. There are multiple spots to get your back flip on if you are into a bit of a jump. I advise wearing water shoes or just regular shoes like me as the rocks are very jagged and sharp to climb.

If cliff jumping isn’t your thing, there is still a ton of adventure to be had at the rock pools. We swam through small caves, under ledges and explored all the different coves above and below the surface. There is too much to explore here.  Read More:  https://www.journeyera.com/magpupungko-rock-pools-on-siargao-island/
